Ready for the ultimate tech setup tour? After getting tons of questions about my gear and tools, I'm pulling back the curtain on EVERYTHING I use to run my business - from my $3000+ recording setup to the analog tools that keep me organized.

In this comprehensive walkthrough, I cover my entire recording studio (Sure SM7B, RoadCaster Pro 2, Sony A6400), the software that powers my business (Kit, Notion, Todoist), my Spartan travel setup, and even my favorite pens and notebooks.

Plus, I'll share why I'm considering going "AI vegan" and which tools are worth the investment vs. the ones you can skip.

Whether you're building your own podcast setup, looking to streamline your solopreneur business, or just love geeking out over productivity tools, this episode has something for you.

Are you overwhelmed by the number of tools you have? Not sure what you can eliminate vs. which you need? Get the, take the Business Overwhelm Diagnostic

Top Takeaways

  1. Separate "business critical" software from nice-to-have apps - My core apps don’t change super often. But there are a bunch I like to try and tinker with to see if they’ll work better.
  2. Automation tools should enhance, not complicate your workflow - My change back to Zapier due to user-friendly troubleshooting and testing capabilities matter more than saving money when things break.
  3. Analog tools still have their place in digital workflows - Physical notebooks, quality pens, and handwritten planning complement digital systems by providing different cognitive benefits and serving as reliable backups when technology fails.
